Day 2- Physical Geography
Essential Questions• How and why do geographers use tools to study
the interactions between the physical and human
landscapes of Earth?
• How do physical forces cause change in the
Earth’s landscape over time? How does this alter
the human landscape and force adaptations and
modifications to the environment? Can you think
of any examples?

Elevation
Mountain Barriers
Ocean Currents
Pressure & Wind
Storm Tracks
Weather vs. Climate
List what you know about each climate region in the chart on the back of
your map.
How does climate affect how people live?
Simple summary of
climatic zones:
Polar - very cold and
dry all year
Temperate - cold
winters and mild
summers
Arid - dry, hot all year
Tropical - hot and wet
all year
Mediterranean - mild
winters, dry hot
summers
Mountains (tundra)
very cold all year
The classification is based on
maximum and minimum temperatures
and the temperature range as well as
the total and seasonal distribution of
precipitation.
Weather
1. Complete your chart using
your knowledge and
classroom resources.
2. Using the symbols you
created, draw the symbols on
the front of your own map in
the appropriate places for
each phenomena.
